At City and Islington College London, Washroom Joinery ensure that facilities in the finished classrooms and laboratories were both attractive yet functional.
The original idea for a curved glass bar would have meant a budget overspend, however by using a facetted design, the concept was not compromised and costs were kept in check.
Features included accent lighting, granite bar top, wall panelling, curved wall cappings and walnut veneer light boxes.
To ensure precise installation the curved seating booths were manufactured off site using Washroom's latest CNC router technology and included fire-rated back projection windows.
Director of Washroom Washroom Phillip Gay said: "Being involved at the early design stages helps to ensure that our value engineering skills provide clients with practical and economical solutions, whilst maintaining the integrity of the concept without detriment to the quality of the finished project.".
